Mumbai – 400023
24th September, 2021
Dearest Maria,
I was so glad to hear from my mother that you are back home after the trip. Hope you had a safe and
enjoyable trip. I have been waiting to hear all about the trip from you.
Since this was the first time you have been to a foreign land, I guess every little bit of the trip was as
exciting as you expected it to be. I have heard from my friends residing there that the place is extremely
beautiful and that the people there are very endearing. However, I was worried when I knew that there
were a few bomb blasts during your stay there. Hope all of you there were safe. I hope everything else
was fine except for this.
I had spoken to your mother earlier, and she told me that you would be coming home after two weeks. I
saw your pictures on Instagram as well. I can’t wait to meet you and hear all your stories. Waiting
eagerly for your reply.
Your loving cousin,
Sarah

Subject: Repair of the road in Cheran Nagar
Sir,
I would like to bring to your notice that the people in and around Cheran Nagar have been facing difficulties in travelling back and forth
because of the bad condition of the roads there. We have appealed to the Municipality, but there has not been any response on the issue so far.
As our appeals to their office have had no effect, we believe that perhaps a mention in the media would be of great help. Since the beginning
of the last month, the roads in Cheran Nagar have been almost impassable. The surface is badly broken up by the heavy rains, and on a dark
night, it is positively dangerous for vehicles to pass that way. Moreover, there are heaps of road metal on both sides of the road, which leave
very little room in the middle. The residents of the area have been inconvenienced in this way for weeks.
The situation is becoming worse. There have been multiple accidents happening due to this condition. I request you to highlight the
seriousness of the matter in your newspaper so that the road may be properly repaired without further delay.
Thanking You
Yours sincerely,
Signature
GANESH
